I solved it, thanks to help from the IRC ("twkm" suggested using
strace instead of gdb, and that worked great).I then ran $(strace /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base dns-server qt), which pointed me to the log file /var/log/YaST2/y2log . I saved the last few lines of this at [http://pastebin.com/f57015cb6]. The fix is to create /var/lib/YaST2/yast2-dns-server_reverse-zones with the content """$[ ] """ instead of having an empty file. hope this helps someone in the future, Nicholas — ntung at ntung — https://ntung.com On Fri, Feb 12, 2010 at 10:59 AM, Nicholas Tung <[email protected]> wrote: > > Sorry to "bump" a message, but could some please get back to me?
